Last March blood tests suggested my Vit D level was 44, not terrible but not “high” despite my diligently consuming 5000 ius daily (or more) since covid.
In April, I got serious about my diet and supplements and “absorption issues” even though I had no idea what issues I might have. Went gluten-free (still 98% gluten-free, vacations have thrown me off some,) sugar-free (now just way reduced sugar,) artificial sweetener-free; started taking a probiotic, digestive enzymes; started taking cod liver oil with my Vit D. And, I don’t avoid the sun, though we’re told that as Oregonians (and I work inside,) we will never get enough Vit D just from sun exposure.
Two weeks ago I saw an endocrinologist for the first time ever, for my raging osteoporosis. (I decided I have to do meds.) He took some blood, not fasting, said everything looked good except in his opinion I’m hypothyroid (what? I usually can tell…ack, not sure I want to up my thyroid meds, my PVCs are already out of control, maybe the two are not connected but they started when I started taking thyroid medication, so….) But also, my Vit D level was 107!!
Guess I’m absorbing it now! To what might be attribute this? Is it the cod liver oil? Am I improving absorption generally? Is it seasonal? Anyway, I won’t be taking as much if it now.
😅
Just looked up Vit D in cod liver oil…guess it has quite a bit on its own. I’m probably more evidence that doing this on your own, not knowing what you’re shooting at, isn’t wise. But when you find out you have severe osteoporosis and it’s upending your life (due to pain) you…want to DO things, you feel like you’ve already waited too long…so, I’ve been lighting fires.
Edit again: I think I’m being tested for hyperparathyroidism (24 hour urine, haven’t submitted yet.) Blood tests for same suggested all is well but of course I’ve read that this can be deceiving. I really WANT there to be some (fixable) reason for my osteoporosis, and it does sound like Hashimotos and hyperparathyroidism together isn’t that uncommon, also symptoms seem nearly identical. I know I just need to wait and see but now I’m wondering about that Vit D level and how it might affect the 24 hour urine test. The nurse or whoever talked to me yesterday didn’t seem too concerned but after decades of being a bit laissez Faire myself, I feel like it might be time to start paying better attention. 😮
Why would u not mention soy milk when u talk abt dairy? Dairy is not healthy.
Hi how to get in your master class? Please let me know.
I take a SEEN chew which is food based calcium, not a supplement and provides 500 mg of calcium per chew. I cut mine in half and add as needed to my diet to reach my goal.
Dr Doug can you share what brand of calcium you use please?
